can anyone point me to any utils for analyzing this misbehavingdisk?

i can't get it to mount anymore - i'm getting this error:
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdb1,
       or too many mounted file systems


running diskdrake, it tells me it's a ext3 disk, but it would mount that way 
either (same error i got when it trying to mount as reaiserfs)

my /etc/fstab line looks like this:
/dev/hdb1 /mnt/8gb reiserfs notail 0 0

i don't know what the notail means, nor the first 0 (something about dumping)

any suggesstions anyone?
